[quote=mynameischan]this is pretty dumb; hopefully there's like at least a dvd or something to go with it[/quote]
If they added a live DVD and/or a "behind the scenes" thing, that would make it worthwhile.

[quote]yeah this is stupid - probably the labels idea although the band would have had to agree with it i guess[/quote/

Not necessarily. The label essentially owns the rights to those songs. They can do what they like with them. Look what happened with Deftones when they made that song 'Back to School Mini Maggot', the label re-released White Pony against the bands wishes.

i hate when bands release best of albums after 3-4 ,or even less, releases. just comes off as cheap and money grabbing. especially disheartening since anberlin is one of the few current mainstream alternative bands i actually listen to.
